Show 632 MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [Dec. 6, males from Tenasserim, which are what Doherty calls A.far-quhari, Dist., but which I cannot see m y way to distinguish from eumolphus which I have from Java, Sikkim, and the Khasia Hills, though the underside is certainly darker. ARHOPALA HELLENORE. A. hellenore, Doh. J. A. S. B. lviii. pt. ii. p. 422, t. xxiii. fig. 7 6 (1889). A. viridissima, Swinh. Ann. N. H . (6) vol. v. p. 449 (1889). The type from Mergui agrees precisely with one given me by Col. Swinhoe as A. viridissima from Mandalay, except that there is rather more gold in the green of the centre of the fore wing. They differ from A. eumolphus in having the black border of the costa very narrow, of the outer margin very narrow at the apex, so that the green almost reaches the apex in a point, and the border of the hind wings also narrower. Below it is paler than most specimens of A. eumolphus. I do not know whether the female of this species can be distinguished from A. eumolphus. ARHOPALA MOLLERI. Nilasera ? moelleri, de Nicev. J. A . S. B. Iii. pt. ii. p. 80, t. ix. figs. 4 3,4a 2 (1883). Arhopala moelleri, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 266. A female from Margharita and another from Bernardmyo. ARHOPALA PARAMUTA. Panchala paramuta, de Nicev. 1. c. p. 81, t. ix. figs. 7 3,7 a 2 (1883). Arhopala paramuta, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 268. One male from the Karen Hills, another from Margharita. ARHOPALA PERIMUTA. Amblypodia perimuta, Moore, Horsf. & Moore, Cat. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. i. p. 42 (1857). Arhopala perimuta, Butt. Ind. iii. p. 270. Sent from the Naga Hills and from Margharita. ARHOPALA BELPHOEBE. A. belphoebe, Doh. J. A. S. B. lviii. pt. ii. p. 421, t. xxiii. fig. 18 3 (1889); Butt. Ind. iii. p. 272. A single male from Margharita agrees with the type from Tavoy, also sent m e by Doherty. ARHOPALA AGRATA. Arhopala agrata, de Nicev. Butt. Ind. iii. p. 251 note, front fig. 137 3 (1890). Seems to be one of the commonest species in East Pegu and agrees perfectly with a pair from Singapore sent m e by de Niceville ; other specimens from Perak are of a duller colour above. |
